The News Junkie
Description:
T-Shirt illustration of a giant woman attacking a bunch of army guys in this parody t-shirt for The News Junkie website.
The design was set up with special sun-activated color-changing ink, so that the colors only appear when out doors. Really cool effect. I gave this a halftone retro coloring treatment to try to emulate classic horror/fantasy magazines.

Tommy Justice hired me to create this limited color skull and roses t-shirt design for his special-lady fans.
He’s got a great retro 80s hair-metal vibe that I tried to inject a little into the design.

Tommy Justice hired me to create this full-color illustration of him as a zombie riffing under the moonlight.
Tommy’s got a really great retro 80s hair metal vibe that I tried to capture here with the artwork. Proving once again that the zombie craze will never die. Just like a zombie.

Client:
Tooldog’s House of Trades
Description:
Fun steampunk inspired logo I worked on for a masonry school called ToolDog’s House of Trades.
The crew decided on a steampunk theme, and we came up with this tough looking dog holding a giant putty knife. I designed both the character and the logo type and provided both for their materials.
This New YouTube video shows how I traditionally ink by hand with a Pentel brush pen for t-shirt design.
This is a T-Shirt illustration of a hip-hop singer gripping a mic spewing bad breath fumes I created for a hip-hop apparel brand called Unik Sovaj.

Thomas Good
Description:
A fantasy author hired me to create this book cover illustration of his characters for his youth fantasy series of the Green Knight.
I love the challenge of designing characters from just a brief outline of a story. The client asked me to create this in a softer pencil and digital painting style which is pretty different from my line-art driven style. Real happy with how this turned out.

Van’s General Store
Description:
Van’s General Store in NYC hired me to create this insane illustration of a crazy tattooed shark riding a bike through the city.
This was designed for a set of jackets as promotional gifts for the employees – the illustration is packed with symbols that represent different aspects of all their personalities. No need to explain, it wouldn’t help! Had a lot of fun with this.
My brother Keith is a super-talented pop-up engineer working at American Greetings – he's created this incredible pop-up book completely by himself by waking up at 5AM every morning before the rest of the fam gets up. He's launching the book via Kickstarter (WHICH STARTS TODAY!), and it would really mean a lot to me if you guys checked out his work. So inspiring! He poured everything he had into this – couldn't be more proud!http://www.messypopup.com/#pop-up #childrensbook #kickstarter #art Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen
Close-up view of a skeleton rider illustration I created just for myself to try out some new coloring techniques. I tried to skip the ink stage with this one, and instead just color over top some hard pencil lines. Pretty happy with the result.Illustrated by Brian Allen, http://FlylandDesigns.com#biker #skull #skeleton #mangastudio #photoshop #illustration #tshirt #art #instaart #instaartist #picoftheday #igdaily #followme Work in progress from the desk of illustrator Brian Allen

Wasaga Beach
Description:
I created this poster illustration of a motorcycle on the beach for the Wasaga Beach Rally in 2016.
Never been to the beach, but it looks amazing – it’s part of the longest fresh water beach in the world, located in Ontario Canada. The rally is one of the biggest around apparently – it was a thrill to be hired to do the t-shirt.
I created a new series of Tiki Head art that I thought would look really cool on a set of throw pillows for the beach house that we will own someday in the far, far future. Check them out!

Stylist character design I created for an alternative salon that wanted a hero character for their marketing materials.

Professional Illustrator Brian Allen reviews the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ (non-touch). I have been using the new Wacom Cintiq Pro 24″ extensively since early April 2018 and I love it! I upgraded from the Wacom Cintiq 24HD, which I used for over 6 years. I had high expectations for this digital drawing tablet and […]
